The space between the IV and III enclosures is more or less even and measures 400 m. wide. There are temples, one of them being small. The big one is known as Rāmelinge-shwara. It is particularly noteworthy that excepting the parallel brick and stone walls in the I, II and III fort walls, all the four fort walls are entirely of mud. The IV fort wall measures N:S. 2100 m. and E:W. 2500 m. and thus the whole complex is probably the most extensive example of mud fort.
